THE BODY AND MOVEMENT IN CHILD EDUCATION

Abstract

We understand corporeality as the individual's ability to feel and use the body as a tool for expression and interaction, and we seek to outline teaching concepts about work involving the body and children's movement, as well as the possible contributions of body work to the development children, and its importance in its teaching procedures in the body of work. On the other hand, some educators find it difficult to introduce physicality into their practice, either due to lack of space in the classroom or lack of planning. Due to the relevance of the discussion, we suggest that it is necessary to deepen the instruction of teaching practice to determine, in fact, how teachers work with children in physical, gestural and movement exercises.
